Tonight, undoubtedly, MLB's All-Star Game will turn into the Derek Jeter Show (complete with its own commercial).

Every so often, a universally beloved and/or respected player who has announced his retirement becomes the focal point of the Midsummer Classic. How does a player reach that rarified status? Mere greatness isn't enough. A certain kind of gravitas is necessary, a sense of doing things the right way and respecting the game (whatever those terms mean).

Usually it's a future Hall of Famer who's spent his entire career with one club and avoided controversy, but the exact formula is a little hard to define.

That got us to thinking. Once Jeter is off the stage, who will be the next player to get the Jeter treatment at an All-Star Game? Frankly, there are no obvious candidates.

Here's the list of active players with eight or more All-Star selections:

Alex Rodriguez - 14

He's technically still active, right? In any case, we safely can move to the next guy.

Ichiro Suzuki - 10

An interesting case. Had Ichiro stayed with the Mariners, the former MVP and two-time batting champ might have been in line for a special night. But he's now a part-time player with the Yankees and his All-Star days likely are behind him (he hasn't made a team since 2010).

Miguel Cabrera - 9 (including this year)

A Triple Crown winner and two-time MVP who's only 31, Cabrera certainly could build up the kind of Hall of Fame resume needed for the Jeter treatment. But he's had off-field problems and in any case it's hard to know what shape his career will take over the next decade or so.

Albert Pujols - 9

A few years ago, the three-time MVP seemed well on the path to eventual Ripken/Rivera/Jeter territory. But two things happened: He left St. Louis for a big free-agent contract and he stopped performing like an All-Star (his last selection was in 2010). He's still a first-ballot Hall of Famer in all likelihood and it's possible he can regain the stature he enjoyed when the was a beloved Cardinal icon. But the odds don't look great at the moment.

David Ortiz - 9

Now this is an interesting case. Big Papi is a popular, bigger-than-life character who's a possible Hall of Famer. He represents an era of Red Sox championships the way Jeter and Rivera represented an era of Yankee championships. But he reportedly tested positive for PEDs in 2003 (an allegation he's always denied), so his reputation is not quite squeaky clean. Let's put this one in the "maybe" category.

Carlos Beltran - 8

Nope.

Beyond that, you have to look to much younger players. Could Mike Trout or Andrew McCutchen or Troy Tulowitizki one day be in the All-Star spotlight as they close out their careers? Certainly. But it's way too early to know. Check back with us in 15 years or so.
